The walls of the nursery, bath, doors can be decorated with images of fish, aquatic plants, marine animals. But how to draw a fish, if such a design idea came to mind? It is not necessary to make the drawing one hundred percent naturalistic. It is quite possible to use stylized images of fish.

Use children's drawings for design purposes

It's easy to make drawings. First you need to draw with a pencil on paper such pictures that will appeal to both the baby and the artist-designer himself. Then you can cut them out and stick them on the wallpaper where appropriate. By the way, it is quite possible to involve the children themselves in the drawing process, since many kids can draw fish on the shoulder. And how nice it will be for little people to take part in the design of a nursery or bathroom!

How to draw a decorative fish?

Decorative drawing differs from naturalistic drawing in that the depicted objects look fabulous, they often have features inherent in people: smiles, funny facial expressions, freckles or eyelashes. Our fish will only be rewarded with a smile and plump cheeks, the restit will be as close to reality as possible. Since it is not possible for kids to draw fish similar to real, living ones, many details are still drawn schematically.

1. First, an oval is drawn on paper.
2. Then one end of the oval is slightly narrowed and pointed - there will be a tail.
3. From the opposite end of the tail on the oval draw a mouth with a smile that "ends" with chubby cheeks - they are depicted with an arc.
4. Then draw the eyes. They can be positioned both inside the oval-body, and made protruding, like the eyes of an aquarium fish-telescope.
5. Smaller circles are placed in the eyeballs, painted in black - these are the pupils. It turns out very beautifully if there are small white circles in the black pupils - glare.

6. The tail and lower pectoral fins of the fish are best depicted using ovals. Moreover, the visible lower pectoral fin can end in an arc, similar to the one with which we depicted the “cheeks” fish.

7. The upper fin can be drawn with an oval, or with a "fence" - it all depends on the desire and taste of the artist.
8. Hatching should be applied to the fins and tail.

How to draw a goldfish with a pencil

Aquarium goldfish enjoys universal love. Children love to draw it. Sometimes they add a small crown to her, and it turns out the heroine of Pushkin's fairy tale - the Golden Fish, fulfilling wishes. You can draw a goldfish in the same way as a regular one, but it should be noted that this species usually has a luxurious veil-like double tail. The eyes of a goldfish can also be located in the usual way, or be a little protruding. If, however, a decision is made to depict a goldfish more plausibly, then one should notice such a difference from other fish as a small “hump” at the top of the body and a rather voluminous tummy. The line that outlines the belly of the goldfish curves rather sharply in the back half of the body.
